companies have developed a new heat-resistant metal coating that can be used on the flight deck of the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier.
This protective coating, developed jointly by Tyne and Monit Coatings, consists mainly of aluminum and titanium, which can withstand temperatures of 1500 degrees Celsius, and is the carrier's flight deck that can withstand high-temperature high-speed tail flames from F-35B Lightning II fighter jets. This coating will provide long-term protection during the life of the aircraft carrier.
it is understood that the British Navy is preparing for the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier's first sea trials next year, the coating on the deck is an important part of the preparation. The carrier is expected to be in service in 2018.
On the flight deck of the Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier, which is 19,000 square metres wide, the heat-resistant coating covers an area of about 2,000 square metres, and a robotic spraying process for spraying powder metal through plasma jets at temperatures of about 10,000 degrees Celsius has been developed.
heat-resistant coating spraying material will be completed before the aircraft carrier conducts sea trials. Ian Booth, managing director of the Uk's Aircraft Carrier Alliance, said: "Preparations for the new aircraft carrier's sea trials and integration of F-35B fighter jets are proceeding in an orderly manner. In collaboration with domestic experts, we have developed a special coating that provides the necessary protection for the aircraft carrier's flight deck, which is an important guarantee that the carrier will remain operational for the next 50 years. The
Queen Elizabeth-class aircraft carrier will be the Royal Navy's most combative naval asset, developed jointly by the Carrier Alliance, which is made up of Babcock, Taylors, BAE Systems and the British Ministry of Defence.
aircraft carrier can carry out a series of combat, humanitarian relief and disaster relief tasks.
Queen Elizabeth class is a new generation of aircraft carriers under construction in the UK, HMS Queen Elizabeth and HMS Prince of Wales. Two Queen Elizabeth-class ships will replace the British Navy's original three Invincible-class light aircraft carriers as the future british Navy's ocean-going main force.
